In the raw and luminous tradition of Tibetan tantra, Chogyam Trungpa Rinphoche unfolds the extraordinary journey of Naropa—one of the greatest enlightened masters of the Kagyu lineage—as a vivid mirror for the contemplative path.
Illusion's Game is a profound and unflinching teaching on the rugged process of spiritual awakening: a deliberate "unlearning" that strips away conventional comforts, conceptual habits, and illusory certainties to reveal a naked encounter with reality itself. Through the timeless story of Naropa (1016–1100)—the brilliant Nalanda scholar who abandoned everything to endure arduous trials under his guru Tilopa—Trungpa Rinpoche illuminates the tantric paradigm of surrender, devotion, and direct transmission of the awakened mind.
With fearless clarity and compassion, this classic text maps the concrete stages of spiritual development: from scholarly knowledge to lonely longing, from daunting obstacles to the ultimate readiness to meet the guru as the living embodiment of truth. The six doctrines of Naropa, passed down for a millennium, come alive here as practical keys for modern practitioners walking the path of devotion and transformation.
A rare and potent guide for contemplative souls drawn to the fierce beauty of Vajrayana and the sacred relationship between student and teacher.
